All of our teachers are fully qualified to teach Russian as a foreign language with years of experience.

You and your teacher will meet at an online classroom (Zoom, Google Classroom , Vedamo), which will provide you with an experience that is in many ways better than a traditional classroom experience. During our lessons you’ll have access to class material sharing, chat, desktop and file sharing, interactive exercises and much more! All of your online learning materials will be hand picked especially for you and you will be able to access them at any time through your own personalised Google Drive folder. Plus we also include the vocabulary covered during the course of the lesson, so not a single new word will be overlooked. To make learning Russian even more fun we will also be regularly recommending you the latest films, music videos and cultural events worldwide.
